I received the compressor and the box was much too big so it was rolling around during shipping which caused the plastic handle to be broken. I took it home and other than the broken handle, it works excellent! I called Amazon and they gave me a credit that more than covered the $30 cost of a new handle which took less than 2 minutes to install.

First the Cons: The unit must have been freshly painted when they put it in the box, because there was yellow paint rubbed off the unit on the cardboard. Wheels are a bit wobbly, but nicely hold air and roll easily. Overall, the unit looked new.
Pros: For a non-oil type unit, it is actually quieter than expected. Builds tank pressure quickly to 200+ psi and regulated pressure easily goes to 160+ psi. Runs my Ingersol Rand impact and ratchet easily. Unit is easy to move around with the extension handle. Small tank will empty quickly if using it in high volume, but the compressor keeps up nicely. Tank bleeder is easy to use.
For a savings of approx. $130 over a new unit, I’d go this route everytime!

This is a perfect compressor for around the house & garage. Portable, it goes wherever you need it. I also purchased the Goodyear 50′ hose & the Campbell Hausefield accesory kit. Works great & would reccommend it.

I love my new air compressor. The unit is rock solid in build. The compressor is quiet – as far as compressors go; especially oil free units. The pressure regulators work well. This unit will pump up bike tires in less than 10 seconds and car tires faster than any gas station unit. I plan to use it to blow out sprinkler lines and am very confident it will excel at that task too.

So I ordered this item twice. The first time it came it would not start, so I simply returned it with no problems. Thought over the decision again, and I just couldnt pass it up: the price was good for such a good unit. Well, the first one was definitely a lemon, as I received another reconditioned d55146 and it works like a charm. I still let it run for 15 mins with the valve open. I just used a small brad nailer with it…the thing barely flinched. fairly quiet for an oil-less compressor, quickly fills… the only thing I find a little cheap on the compressor is the knob to regulate pressure. other than that, its a solid compressor. i will update this if there is any future problems.
